Davenport, IA – Southeastern Iowa and western Illinois are preparing for a significant winter storm, with snowfall totals expected to reach up to 12 inches by Sunday night. The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued a Winter Storm Warning for areas south of the Quad Cities, including Burlington and Macomb.
Snowfall will begin Sunday morning, intensify during the evening, and taper off early Monday morning. The heaviest accumulation is forecast along Highway 34 and surrounding regions, where snow could fall at rates of one inch per hour. Gusty winds will likely create blowing snow, reducing visibility for drivers.
Local officials urge residents to prepare for dangerous road conditions. Travelers on major routes such as I-74 and Highway 61 should anticipate delays and are encouraged to avoid non-essential trips. For those who must drive, ensure vehicles are winter-ready and allow extra travel time.
As temperatures dip below freezing Monday night, untreated roads and sidewalks may become icy. Residents are advised to clear snow promptly and monitor updates from local authorities.
Stay safe and plan accordingly as this winter storm makes its way through the region.
